Phone calls at my work - are they allowed to do that?

Hi. Soon to be filing for bankruptcy, so have stopped all payments for the loans etc. But one particular bank are leaving messages for me at work, two or three times a day, and sometimes into the evening. Are they allowed to this? If its any help, I work in a care home for vulnerable adults. Any advice appreciated.

    Hi, No they are not. When they did that to me, I complained to Trading Standards. Such calls could jeopardise one's employment. Trading Standards lodged a complaint with the (ethical) bank who was harrassing me and I got an apology. Insist that they remove your work number from their database.
    Good luck.
